The new charges include accusations of breaking into three storage facilities on Catherine Lake Road and stealing a 47-inch Sanyo LCD television, a Gerber machete and two K-Bar Marine Corps knives, valued at $530, from one; a 47-inch Vizio LCD television valued at $350 from another; and military field equipment valued at $3,800 from the third, according to warrants on file with the Onslow County Magistrate’s Office.

The pair is also accused of conspiring to break into a recreational facility on Richlands Highway and steal one Honda ATV, a Honda motorcycle, two LCD televisions, numerous power tools, electronics, fishing rods and other boating equipment, with a total value of $27,800, according to warrants.

Both men were already each being held in the Onslow County Jail under a $65,000 bond for previous charges of burning personal property, misdemeanor larceny, possession of a stolen firearm, felony larceny, two counts each of larceny of a firearm and breaking and entering into a motor vehicle, four counts each of felony possession of stolen goods/property and felony larceny after breaking and entering, six counts of injury to personal property and nine counts of felony breaking and entering for felonies they allegedly committed between Sept. 15 and Nov. 14.

The new charges brought each man’s bond to a total of $107,000.

Neilsen and Vu are accused in the earlier charges of breaking into seven storage lockers, two vehicles, a Richlands home and Onslow Memorial Park Cemetery. They also allegedly sliced a motorcycle tire and set fire to a pickup truck, according to warrants.
